XV “Smallville” [mp3]
I couldn’t not mention J Cole sampling Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness album cuts, but this is some especially snoozy music. XV’s Vado / CyHi collab much better.

Mysonne f. McGruff “Talk 2 Em” [mp3]
The 28 (!!!) tracks on Mysonne’s Autobot Music tape are mostly freestyles over radio records (Kanye, Drake, Rihanna) with a lot of explosions and Transformers soundbites over them. Then there are songs like this which remind me why I wanted a Bang Bang Boogie shirt two summers ago.

Tyga ft. Pharrell, Game and Snoop “Really Raw” [mp3]
When Pharell decides to dial up the upright bass Triton patches, only good things happen. This is one of eight hundred or so Game tracks released this week, FYI. I could go into a whole quality-vs-quantity schpiel but remember, this man tatted a butterfly on his cheek, he’s obviously tuned into a different frequency than most.
